Odd
The beginning was fun and interesting, but the story started to stall and get sort of odd. The ending was both more climactic than the genre really calls for, and oddly anticlimactic at the same time.

Usually I like books of this type but the mix (almost like it was foreshadowing that it was going to change wildly into a fantasy or sci-if story at any minute) was so odd and kept me wondering so much about where the story was going that it detracted from my enjoyment.

I love the author’s voice, but the climax felt completely at odds with the rest of the mood set.

I do have to say that I thought a lot about the story in the week after I finished it, and it has definitely peaked my interest in micro-biology.
